Perovskite ferroelectric ceramics with giant electrostrictive coefficient Q33 have attracted much attention due to their high strain response with ultralow hysteresis. In this work, the electrostrictive properties as well as domain morphology of the lead-free (1−x)NaNbO3-xBaTiO3 (NN-xBT) (0.10 ≤ x ≤ 0.27) system were investigated systematically. A composition-insensitive Q33 of 0.0406 m4/C2 is identified in the NN-xBT ceramics (0.15 ≤ x ≤ 0.27). An ab initio computation indicates that transverse Q12 would play an important role in understanding of the composition-insensitive Q33. Furthermore, distinctively banding domains and inhomogeneous distribution of nanodomains were observed in NN-xBT by piezoresponse force microscopy. A continuous decrease of domain wall density was identified with respect to the increase of x. This study would not only deepen our understanding of the origin of composition-insensitive Q33 in NN-BT and other related systems, but also provide a way to enhance the Q33, i.e., by forming the solid solutions with end members, which possess high Q12.

(1- x)NaNbO 3 - x BaTiO 3无铅铁电体中成分不敏感的电致伸缩系数的产生和畴壁密度的连续降低
具有高电致伸缩系数Q 33的钙钛矿铁电陶瓷因其高应变响应和超低滞后性而备受关注。在这项工作中,电致伸缩特性以及无铅(1-域形态X)的NaNbO 3 - X的BaTiO 3(N,N- X BT)(0.10≤ X ≤0.27)系统进行了系统的研究。一种组合物不敏感的Q 33的0.0406米4 / C 2被识别在N,N- X BT陶瓷(0.15≤ X ≤0.27)。一个从头计算表明,横向Q 12在理解不敏感成分的Q 33中将起重要作用。此外,通过压电响应力显微镜在NN- x BT中观察到明显的带状结构域和纳米结构域的不均匀分布。相对于x的增加,确定了畴壁密度的连续降低。这项研究不仅将加深我们对NN-BT和其他相关系统中对成分不敏感的Q 33起源的理解,而且还将提供增强Q 33的方法,即通过与具有高Q 12的端基形成固溶体。
